DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to the drawings, and initially to FIGS. 1-7, a lighting device in accordance with the present invention comprises a cone or bowl-shaped housing 1 including a peripheral flange 17 extended or provided on the outer and the upper portion thereof, and including one or more posts 11 formed or provided in the inner peripheral portion thereof and each having a screw hole 12 formed therein. The housing 1 includes a net 13 disposed and provided in the bottom portion thereof for forming or defining a number of openings 14 therein and for allowing the air to flow into the housing 1, and includes a cup 15 provided and extended downward from the bottom or from the net 13 thereof, and includes a ring 16 disposed in the net 13 or in the bottom portion thereof. A base 2 includes a casing 21 provided on top thereof for receiving the cup 15 and for securing the housing 1 on top of the base 2. One or more fasteners may further be provided for securing the housing 1 on the base 2.
A fan device 4 is received in the housing 1 and engaged on and secured to the inner peripheral portion or the bottom or the net 13 of the-housing 1 with such as the fasteners. A socket 44 is disposed or secured on top of the fan device 4 for receiving a light device 5, such as a light emitting diode, or a light crystal displayer, or a luminous device, etc. The fan device 4 and/or the light device 5 are coupled to a plug 43 via a switch 42, with electric cables 41 which may be threaded through the ring 16 of the housing 1. The plug 43 may be plugged or coupled to the electric power source for energizing the fan device 4 and/or the light device 5. The switch 42 may be used for selectively actuating or controlling the operation of the fan device 4 and/or the light device 5.
An air guiding device 3 includes a peripheral flange 30 for engaging onto the posts 11 of the housing 1 and includes one or more holes 35 formed in the peripheral flange 30 thereof. One or more fasteners 7 may be engaged through the holes 35 of the peripheral flange 30 and may be threaded with the screw holes 12 of the posts 11, for securing the air guiding device 3 in the housing 1 and above the fan device 4. A peripheral wall 36 is extended or provided in the lower portion of the peripheral flange 30 of the air guiding device 3, and includes a chamber 37 formed therein for receiving and securing the fan device 4 therein, with such as a force-fitted engagement or the like, and includes one or more slots 38 (FIG. 5) formed therein for threading the electric cables 41.
As best shown in FIGS. 2, 4, 7, a cylindrical barrel 32 is provided in the receptacle 300 and concentric with the receptacle 300. One or more hooks or catches 34 are provided on top of the barrel 32 and preferably extended inward of the barrel 32. A reflector 51 (FIG. 7) may be secured between the socket 44 and barrel 32 with the catches 34 for reflecting the light generated by the light device 5. A number of helical flaps 31 are coupled between the receptacle 300 and the barrel 32 for forming or defining a number of air passages 33 that include a substantially helical shape or configuration.
In operation, as shown in FIGS. 8-10, the fan device 4 may be energized to pump or to force the air to flow inward of the housing 1 via the openings 14 of the net 13 or of the bottom portion of the housing 1, and to flow out through the air passages 33 of the air guiding device 3, and thus to flow upward and outward of the air guiding device 3. The helical air passages 33 may guide the air to form the helical air current or helical air stream 8.
A floating or decorative member 6 is disposed above the air guiding device 3, and is made of light materials, such as the foamable materials, the spongy materials, or the like, and includes one or more colors or words or patterns 61, such as the smiling face 62, or the crying face 63 or the like applied on the outer peripheral portion thereof. As shown in FIGS. 8-10, the decorative floating member 6 may be blown upward or floated by the air stream 8, such as the helical air current or air stream 8 generated by the fan device 4, and may be rotated, indicated by the arrows 9, by the air stream 8, such that the patterns 62, 63 of the decorative floating member 6 may be changed as seen from one direction toward the lighting device or toward the housing 1. The weight of the floating member 6 is arranged or selected for allowing the floating member 6 to be floated by the air stream 8, and for preventing the floating member 6 from being moved laterally or sidewise away from the air stream 8. The helical flaps 31 of the air guiding device 3 are also arranged or designed or selected to provide the air stream that may hold or retain the floating decorative member 6 in the middle portion of the air stream 8. The light device 5 may be selectively energized to light the floating member 6, for allowing the patterns 61, 62, 63 of the floating member 6 to be clearly seen by the users.
Accordingly, the lighting device in accordance with the present invention includes a fan device for floating the decorative floating members.
Although this invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity, it is to be understood that the present disclosure has been made by way of example only and that numerous changes in the detailed construction and the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
